- I can understand they want to change the firefox-association (since its not a gnome-app) - But deskbar and desktop-search should stick to nautilus: they belong to gnome. Interestingly, when I do a: $ grep directory /etc/gnome/defaults.list I get this as well: (no thunar listed here!) inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop -- Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus https://launchpad.net/bugs/35997 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
